Title: Mitigation of Faraday rotation in space bourne radar
Inventor: HALL CHARLES DAVID
IPC: G01S7/40
Filed: 1999-09-23
Abstract: Faraday Rotation causes rotation of plane polarised radiation emitted by a radar e.g. a synthetic aperture radar. If returns polarised in orthogonal planes are measured at the synthetic aperture radar in order to determine polarimetric characteristics of the ground, which could show up features of the ground such as crop patterns, the measurements made at the SAR are contaminated by the Faraday Rotation. The transmitted plane polarised beam is pre-rotated in transmitter 9, the radar returns in receiver 13 are mathematically adjusted in signal formatting 14, 15 to compensate for just the pre-rotated angle, to produce data streams on downlink 16 uncontaminated by the Faraday Rotation. The Faraday Rotation may be estimated by ionospheric weather information, or by performing correlation 10 of the orthogonally polarised radar returns to establish a minimum, while the pre-rotation angle and mathematical correction of the returns are being iteratively adjusted, at which Faraday Rotation is assumed to be compensated.

Title: Safety shut-off for gas lines
Inventor: ALBRECHT GUENTER
IPC: F16L47/03
Filed: 1993-12-24
Abstract: The problem underlying the present invention is that of providing a safety shut-off for gas lines in which the valve body bed is frictionless and maintenance-free and which presents only a minimum flow resistance. In addition, the safety shut-off is to do without any outside seal. It is to be easily fitted and capable of installation in existing gas lines without fittings or any alteration thereto. The problem is solved in that, in a safety shut-off for gas lines with a valve body (6) which can be pressed against a valve seat (1), in which the valve body (6) is fitted to be movable in the axial direction of the valve seat (1) against the force of a closing spring, the valve body is guided only by a spring and is otherwise free to move without any additional seating. The invention relates to a safety shut-off to close gas lines in the event of damage, e.g. pipe breakages or tears in hoses, to prevent the uncontrolled escape of gas and hence avoid any danger.
Patent IL-42705-A (IL)
Title: Trickle irrigation system
IPC: A01G25/02
Filed: 1973-07-10
Abstract: A trickle irrigation system which utilizes a series of irrigating valves and interconnecting tube valves, the irrigating valves assuming open, flushing conditions at pressures below a critical zone, and assuming a restricted or trickle condition at pressures above the critical zone; whereas the tube valves assume a constructed flow or closed condition below the critical pressure zone and expand to full flow condition at pressures above the critical zone. As a consequence, on supplying water to the irrigation system, the irrigating valves first flush then automatically restrict to trickle condition in sequence as the tube valves open in sequence. When the water is shut off a second flushing action occurs before drainage is complete.

Abstract: 1480749 Wired broadcasting systems COMMUNICATIONS PATENTS Ltd 7 March 1975 [16 March 1974] 11791/74 Heading H4R In a wired broadcasting system a wide band coaxial cable 3 carries multichannel programme signals from a programme source 1 to a number of programme exchanges 4 to each of which a number of subscriber units 7 are connected. The channels in the wide band cable 3 are stacked one upon another in frequency, and each exchange has, for each subscriber a respective frequency translator 10 which is controlled from the respective subscriber unit 7 to convert a selected one of the stacked frequency signals to a predetermined other frequency which the subscriber is able to receive. As described the central station 1 transmits the programme signals on low deviation fm carriers, although standard UHF or VHF modulation can be used, and the cable 3 has a bandwidth of 600 MHz. Also applied to the cable are one or more pilot tones from generator 5. Each exchange can be connected to its subscribers by respective "Qwist" cables 8 of the type described in Specification 1,272,594 fed from the frequency translators 10 with a unit 11 to bypass the pilot signal around the translators 10 and apply it direct to the line. At the subscribers unit the pilot signal is utilized via frequency dividers or multipliers to generate selectively control signals which, fed back to the exchange, determine the parameters of the frequency translation so that the selected programme is returned to the subscriber over the respective one of lines 8 at the frequency which the subscriber can receive. In order to restrict reception of particular programmes the control unit 11 at the exchange may restrict the pilot tones applied to the subscribers line so that not all the programmes available can be selected by the subscriber to prevent subscribers receiving pay programmes &c. If desired the control unit 11 may be under the control of a central pay tv computer. In an alternative embodiment, Fig. 2 (not shown) the exchange 4 is linked to the subscribers units 7 via a single wide band cable (15) and individual subsidiary cables (16) and the various subscribers are allotted respective transmission frequencies, those near the exchange having frequencies higher than those more distant to increase the service area of the exchange. The subscriber will be provided with a frequency translator to change the frequency of the programme received from his line to that appropriate his receiver, the frequency translator utilizing the pilot tones received from the exchange and being located on or outside the subscribers premises.
